Congressman Hill (AR-02) issued the following statement after reports that Canada agreed to sign onto a trade deal between the United States and Mexico to revamp the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA):
"I was pleased to see that negotiators from the United States, Mexico, and Canada have successfully concluded a three-country effort to update and reform the 1992 NAFTA agreement. Canada and Mexico are the largest trading partners for Arkansas goods and services, thus a successful three-country negotiation was essential. Further, I am pleased that a dispute resolution mechanism was included.
"I look forward to studying the text of the results of the collective hard work of the negotiators."
